Circle of Security in the Classroom

COS-C trainings are available to any interested childcare or school staff wanting to expand their knowledge and practice of secure attachment and supporting the emotional needs of their students and families. This approach “…provides a research-based framework to guide educators and caregivers in fostering secure attachment and emphasizes the profound impact these connections have on social/emotional readiness and overall development” (circleofsecurityinternational.com, 2025).

Tier I trainings can be virtual or in-person (location TBD by requesting agency), in traditional eight-week format or four-week accelerated format. Tier I learning includes the eight chapters and introduction to the theory of secure attachment and the basics of the circle. Pricing depends on number of participants and includes workbooks and certificates for all enrolled.

Tier II trainings can also be virtual or in-person and are ongoing coaching sessions to apply the concepts from Tier I learning. Coaching sessions are 60 minutes and can be 1:1 with facilitator, or in small groups of 3-4 educators/providers. Prices and options included below.
